You're a—you've been given sovereignty, and you're viewed as a sovereign entity. And, therefore, the relationship between the federal government and tribes is one between sovereign entities." dubya 8.6.04

Both political analysts on the Lehrer News Hour, conservative and liberal, dismissed the poll as literallly incredible. Now, I find the neo-conservative media pretty fair and balanced , so I'll give the numbers the benefit of the doubt until I hear more.<br><br>
